Hello

My brothers and sisters from another mother. I hope all is well with you. I watched a YouTuber and was led to write this letter. I am a husband and father of 3 and have been married for over 10 years now. After meeting my wife overseas, I pursued her and later we got married. Back then we did not have this many children and back then I was in a different field where I generated a lot of money to travel but moving from Atlanta to the Dominican Republic for 6 months and relocating in New York City the cost of two household and immigration cost consumed all my savings.

Now I am self-employed for the better part of our marriage, and we have yet to have a family vacation because the cost is astronomical. Last year we thought it would be possible as we got every child a passport, but again other matters came up that were more pressing than the trip.

It is my dream to get my wife to see her brother who lives in Barcelona Spain. The last time I was Mediterranean was in the Marine Corps so I would love to see that side of the world again. Why did I choose Spain because my wife hasn’t seen her brother for 15 years except for WhatsApp, and last year when their father passed away he wasn’t able to go back to the Dominican Republic for the funeral so I think this would be an outstanding trip.
